The city that never sleeps

New York. Is a noisy, bustling man made analogy of the Grand Canyon, as we weave our way through the canyon walls created by the towering sky scrapers we cannot help be be enraptured by it's physical presence.

For this post I'm simply going  to let the pictures describe our day as we travel from the hotel to the Empire state, on through Greenwich village, past the former site of the World Trade Centre through Wall Street to battery park then back via the UN building, Central park and Times square.

It was a busy day and with the time difference wearying us further we still have much to do today as we prepare to repeat part of the journey to take us to the Statue of Liberty.

For now, enjoy yesterdays visits. I hope to more of the essence of yesterday in a later post.
